birth of a great nation

when the founders declared independence from England they knew they were committing high treason as they signed their name to that document, they also knew they were declaring war on the worlds superpower, what they could not have known was the outcome of this bold decision, there was a much greater chance of failure than success, and many colonists wanted no part of a revolution, the status quo was the easy road. I wonder how they would be remembered today had the revolution failed, would they be called insurgents? terrorists? traitors?  We are blessed to live in this great country because good men refused to live in tyranny and had the grit and resolve to fight. Ask yourself, if today was then would you have been a loyalist or patriot? How many of the leaders you elected would have stood shoulder to shoulder with the brave men on the firing line?
